When to Use 30 KB Images
30 KB is a common upper limit for online forms and exam portals that need a balance between a recognizable photo and minimal server storage. Indian government portals (state-level) frequently use this limit.
| Use Case | Notes |
|---|---|
| State exam / university portals | 30 KB limit common in India |
| Small profile photo upload | Sufficient detail at small size |
| Forum / message board avatar | Fast-loading with good quality |
| Application form photo | Meets most strict portals |

Upload JPG, PNG, or WebP — the tool compresses to JPG output. For PNG with transparency, the transparent areas become white in the compressed JPG.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All compression runs locally in your browser using the HTML Canvas API. Your photo never leaves your device.
